Is this our new signing from South Korea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield Utd. really did have a freakish season and I doubt any of the promoted teams will be comfortable like them. Yes, and Southampton could be an interesting watch if Ings doesn't have a repeat season. They would have been in deep doodoo without his goals.

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I think Leeds will do will and surprise quite a few teams. They have an unbelievably fit team. Could see them finishing mid table. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 To add to @OutByEaster?'s nine, I'll add Burnley, Southampton and Leeds as sides I just cannot see going down. Silly me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the first few games of the season when they were dire, Southampton did play some decent football - at least in the games that I watched. But do agree that pretty much all the teams in the bottom half of the table from last year could potentially end up in the relegation fight.

MarkLillis Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I think relegation fight is hard to predict this year. I think the teams that have come up out of the Championship are far more robust. There are also less weak teams in the Premier. With that said here goes. Palace (based on abysmal end to last year) WBA (based on form after lockdown under pressure and lack of recruitment) Fulham (because they came up through the playoffs and haven’t significantly spent) anyone from 9th downwards will at some stage be involved I think. Outsiders are Sheff Utd (second season syndrome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they're paying Trabzonspor some money to get them to agree to terminate the agreement. Wherever I hear that team's name it reminds me of listening to european football on radio 5, when Villa were in it. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 4, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2020 What the hell, let's have a go at the whole table: Manchester City Liverpool Manchester United Chelsea Arsenal Tottenham Everton Leicester Wolves Southampton Burnley Aston Villa West Ham Brighton Leeds Sheffield United Newcastle Crystal Palace West Brom Fulham if I did it again in five minutes it'd be different - I really think the bottom eleven (including us) could all finish 11th or get relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Solid keeper about to sign, tougher back 4, strikers who can score = Villa a plucky 9th. Newcastle down for schizzle, along with West Brom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
